Community Care and Support Services for the Elderly

We provide support in household duties, personal care, nursing care, rehabilitation, day care, carers’ support, health promotion, and community support services to the elderly or families in need and persons with disability. These services enable elders to stay at home of their choice, while the carers are supported to perform their caring role.

Pilot Scheme on Community Care Service Voucher for the Elderly

Service Introduction

The Social Welfare Department launched the Pilot Scheme on Community Care Service Voucher for the Elderly in September 2013.  Adopting a new funding mode, namely the “money-following-the-user” approach, eligible elderly persons may choose community care services that suit their individual needs with the use of Community Care Service Voucher for the Elderly (Community Voucher). Lee Foo Service Centre of the Hong Kong Family Welfare Society are recognised service providers of this Pilot Scheme.
